network strategies

20May08

“The broader an actor’s network connections, the more likely the actor will be to identify suitable potential exchange partners.” (Rangan, 2000).

That means the broader the network one is part of, the more chances to succeed (s)he has. This is mainly due to potential for knowledge transfer, access to new technologies, info etc. To give a real-life example, students part of international organizations such as AIESEC become highly successful in relation to the broad network they create.
